Iam always looking for fun projects for beginners and here's one that will help you practice on faces ... Get a basswood Goose egg ( you can get them at most craft stores) and just carve a variety of faces on all sides of it .. I sat down the other night at the plant and just had fun doing this .. All it takes is a knife and it allows for alot of practice on simple faces ... Hope you enjoy a sample .. Gene

I like the one with all the little faces like they're trying to get out of that little piece of wood. Thanks for a great idea !
